The jeep, carrying the trainees’ sweat and hard work, finally arrived at the Specialty Pavilion Academy by noon the next day.
The families of all the trainees received the news almost immediately, and they couldn’t wait to rush out to welcome their relatives.
As soon as the jeep came to a stop, the entire academy was filled with cheers and excitement. Some even shed tears of joy, tears filled with concern, worry, and longing for their loved ones, now finally returned.
Li Yan stood in the academy courtyard, watching the scene that unfolded every time a mission ended, yet his heart remained undisturbed. His eyes shifted to glance at the small woman beside him wrapped up like a dumpling, and a faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at his lips.
The jubilant atmosphere in the academy courtyard enveloped everyone’s hearts and lingered for quite a while—
Of course, no matter how wonderful the moments were, they all eventually came to an end. Not far ahead, a few people dressed in high-ranking officer uniforms strode over with large steps!
Their expressions were stern, and an intimidating aura spread throughout the field, causing many to not dare utter a single word.
The sounds gradually diminished...
The officers were already closing in!
Gu Tiancheng stood at the forefront, took a deep breath, and said, "Trainees! Thank you for your hard work! Congratulations on returning triumphantly!"
He suppressed his anger to say these words, not upset about anything else but his troublemaker relative. Hearing she was back, he immediately found a way to vent, wishing he could tear her into pieces.
"Report to the officers! Class One has completed the mission and returned. Ten people were injured and have been sent to the Medical Center, but there were no casualties! Awaiting further instructions!"
Li Yan stepped forward first, speaking these gratifying words.
Looking at his dear son-in-law, Gu Tiancheng grew increasingly satisfied, with half of his anger vanishing, he said, "Good! Very good!"
The degree of this damage was practically equivalent to zero loss! Because they were well aware of the severity of this mission.
His son-in-law was simply impeccable, beyond criticism!
"No instructions, trainees, you’ve worked hard, go rest now. I need to speak with Earl Li!" Gu Tiancheng pulled out a satisfying smile, serving as encouragement and acknowledgment to the trainees.
No matter how angry he was, he had to forcibly suppress it. He couldn’t treat them poorly right after their triumphant return.
"Yes!" The trainees all accepted the order, each speculating whether Gu Wangjue was going to reward their Earl because of the extreme difficulty of this mission.
Having thought about it, they dared not linger and directly carried out the command, leaving the academy courtyard in quick succession to reunite with their families.
Now in the academy courtyard, only a few officers from Class One, along with Huang Shou and Zhou Li, remained.
In fact, it wasn’t that they didn’t want to leave, but because after the battle, they needed to report to the officers, thus they couldn’t leave. As for Huang Shou and Zhou Li, the reason was simpler, they were unfamiliar here and had nowhere else to go...
Seeing that most of the personnel had left, Gu Tiancheng’s eyes focused on Gu Tong, whom he could recognize even as ashes, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You dead girl, you’ve really grown capable! Dare to infiltrate the Specialty Pavilion Academy to execute tasks! Simply lawless, if I don’t peel off your skin today, I’m not your father!"
After saying this, Gu Tiancheng almost charged forward with a burst of energy, appearing to want to fight Gu Tong to the death.
